WICKFORD ART brings our creative community together for the 8th Annual POETRY & ART Exhibit: Transition
North Kingstown (RI) Wickford Art Association (WAA) celebrates the 8th year of our Poetry & Art project, an annual event whereby 42 poets and 42 artists are selected to create and respond to a theme. This year, TRANSITION, challenged all involved to reflect on the many meanings and interpretations of the concept, led, in 2020, by poetry with artistic responses from our creative community of member and non-member artists.
The gallery will launch a full exhibit of poems and paired artwork on Friday: September 25, 2020, has published a book of all work on sale at the gallery, and will host a series of receptions on Saturday: September 26 (3:30 pm and 5:00pm) and Sunday, September 27 (3:30 pm) for the general public.
